My partner(Steve) worked as an arcade tech for many years, in Spokane, WA. He loved the job, but unfortuneatly he was let go(not enough work). The company he worked for repaired the arcade games for people as well as owning their own arcade at the mall in Spokane. It was in the basement of the mall, with the ceiling open to the first floor. We were just up in Spokane last month and we went to the mall. Steve wanted to see if anyone he knew still worked there. The arcade was no longer there, and the floor had been all closed off. No longer could you look over a rail into the basement arcade. It was just all floor. Someone had bought a bowling alley in Spokane and also the arcade business. She runs both from the location.

Steve had told me, that at the time, if the arcade game or pinball machine didn't pay for itself in 3 months, it wasn't worth keeping it.
